Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

Dare you, peep in your neighbour's notebook. After all, it is a national-level competitive exam - people tend to be extremely competitive. Tough days…

I was alone in Delhi back then
It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.
If we haven’t met, my name is Suryansh Sodhani.

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.
Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.
A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.
How much should one budget to travel for 1 month generally?
Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!
2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.
So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.
This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.
I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.
You would have to be on your toes. If your mind drifts apart for even a second, you will lose your chain of thoughts and notes.
“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”
Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!
And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.
Your credentials do not matter!
Each class used to be 2.5 hours each. Making it a total of 5 hours of coaching classes daily. The classes used to be 7 days a week.

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.
If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.
I did not move for the next 30 minutes..
Why is it easy to make money in the USA?
I did not go back to my home.
And, I had not made it.
It is almost impossible.
So, yes, the UPSC is considered the toughest exam in the world because there is a ‘luck’ factor coupled with subjectivity in the exam process.
Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.
“But, it is nearly impossible for one to predict who will make it to the ‘holy list’. Yes! I can say that if an aspirant who has done X, Y, and Z can increase their chances of selection, but it is just not enough. There is always a matter of luck (or, probability).”

“All of these students are great from an academic point of view. They have always scored 90%+ during their school days, some have even scored 9.6 CGPA and above during their 10th boards.”
And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.
2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)
The batch sizes were huge!
I vividly remember that evening.
500 students in each batch. God forbid if you were late to the class - you would have to push your way through the seats. (Old aspirants reading this know which institute I am talking about).
I lacked a mentor when I needed one.
I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.
I looked around me
“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”
After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..
Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams
Worked for a marketing agency
This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.
Found an empty bench..
I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.
Searched for my roll number.
A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.
All the best!
I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)
It lasted approximately 10 months.
And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.
Anyway!
.
I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
“I, too, was an aspirant, 20 years back. I have met board toppers, state board toppers, and college toppers with more than 9+ CGPA who prepare for this exam.”
Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.
In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.
But, then it hit me hard.
And entered the park.
All achievers in their own way.
I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
Dropped them
I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -
I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.
And..
Cleared multiple of them
Keep your ego aside.
